THE NEW RAILROAD.
AUSTIN TRYING TO TALK ABOUT MORE
RAILROADS.

AUSTIN TRYING TO TALK ABOUT MORE
RAILROADS.
From advices so far received it would
seem that q sufficient amount of money
has been subscribed to warrant the be-
lief that the "Cotton Belt'' Road will be
induced to extend it's main line from Nc
Gregor to Austin. Ia Austin little over
$50, 900 has been subscribed, in Round
Rock $4,000, in Georgetown 1000 and
in Bolton 1926, 900. Salado and Corn Hill
are each reported to have raised $4,000.
This, if correct, makes $780,
900 exclusive of what McGregor has
raised. In a few days a committee of
citizens will visit ST. Louis and confer
with officers of the road and tender them
the donation of money, with a guarantee
of right of way and depot grounds, if they
will extend within twelve months after
acceptance their road to Austin. There
can be little doubt that the railroad COM
pany will accept the offer, and there is
q reasonable hope that inside the next
eighteen months at furthest Austin will
have connection with two Of the leading
railroads in the United Ststes,s in add-i
ton to that of the Missouri Pacific. The
connection between the Gulf Colorado,
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
roads will be made inside of month.
This will open a new route to the North
west and through trains will be running
to Kansas City and other points. In a
few months the extension of the Gulf
Colorado and Santa Fe to Paris will be
completed and there it will connect with
the st. Louis and San Francisco Road,
opening new route to ST. Louis. By
the construction of the road to McGregor
Austin will, in addition to being on the
main line of the St. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas road, have connection with the
entire system of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe. Austin now has a brighter
prospect than ever before in her history.
From the day that 1t is known that the
St. Louis company have accepted the
offer, and that the road will be extended
to this city, Austin will become new
city. Old fogyism will be buried and
the capital city will take its march with
Dallas and Fort Worth in the line of
progress and advancement.-[A Austin
Dispatch.

Saved by His Goat Tails.

From the Rockford (In.,) Register.
Levi Rhosdes came near being jerked
into eternity yesterday, and can thank
his lucky stars that his coat-talls were not
made of corduroy or rivited together at
the seams with brass binding. If the gar
ment had been made of some indestructi-
BILE, unbreakable material, it is more than
likely that the big capitalist would have
been landed on the other shore. Mr..
Rhoades was down at the paper mills
looking after affairs, and getting too near
a fast revolving shaft, his coat
tails caught around it and commenced
wrapping up, threa -ening to take
in the whole of the slack of the garment
eventually, and Jerk the gentleman off his
feet. In that event his body would have
been hurled round with every revolution
of the shaft and life would have been
beaten out of him. The minute ne
found out what had occurred, he grabbed
a post near by and held on for dear life.
1t was clear case of muscle against the
texture of the coat-tsils with bodily in
jury in the balance.
The shaft revOlved, the tension on the
coat-tails increased, and the tug of war
commenced. AT last the garment was
torn asunder, and if ever music was
sWeeter to Lewis ear than the sound of
the ripping of that coat, he has no re-
membrance of the occasion.

TAHLEQUAH, 1. T., May 2.-The council
that is to meet here in special session on
the 9th, to take into consideration the re-
building of the female seminary which
burned down not long since, without
doubt will appropriate $4,000 to $4,000,
and the work will commence at once
Chief Bushyhead is thoroughly alive on
educational matters concerning his peo-
pie. He says no stone shall be left IN
turned until he sees another building
erected and school in progress. If
there is one thing the Cherokees are
alive about it is the subject of education.
They will have schools and have plenty of
money to carry them on. The strip
stockmen lately paid into our treasury
$4,000 for their semi-snnual payment
which no doubt VIII be used for construc-
ton of the contemplated building.

FOTHERINGHAM'S TRIAL.

The Question of Jurisdiction to be Raised
ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 2.-The jury in
the Fotheringham case was completed
this afternoon, and the trial will begin
tomorrow. 1t is not likely, however,
that the trial will proceed far before the
question OF jurisdiction will come up.
Fotheringham was indicted for larceny
on a railroad train, and can only be
tried in the county where the offence was
committed, and if the state fails to show
thst the bbery was committed in St.Louis
as it is believed they will, it is understood
that Judge Norville Will instruct the jury
to acqult the defendant. What will be
done then is not known, but it is believed
in legal circles that there will be no
further prosecution.

jeff Miller, private secretary OF Recelv-

cific, was in Fort Worth short time last
night.
There is a good deal of Frisco fever in
Fort Worth, Mckinney and Bonham and
the disease is so severe that nothing
short of securing the road will cure 1t.
Several trains were late yesterday oW-
ing to the heavy rains, but the companies
and the people are willing to endure de
laws caused by such q wealth-producing
visitation.
The tracklaying forces on the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande started to work
yesterday morning bright and early, but
when the heavy rain came were compelled
to stop work for time.
Judge DeArmand of Mckinney, who
spent some time in Fort Worth talking
to our people about the Wolfe City, Nc
Kinney and Fort Worth line has returned
home, and the report he took with him
was very satisfactory.
Tomorrow is the day appointed for the
directors of the St. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas to meet IN Texarkana. There will
be committees present from many points
in Texas, and many cities will have their
ewes turned to TeXsrkana until the meet
ing adjOurns.
The forces on the Fort Worth and
Denver extension are being increased
daily by men who have been at work on
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Fort
Worth extension and one and one-half
miles of track viii go down every day
from this time on. Work at the front
yesterday was pushed with vim and it
will not be great while until the "Great
Panhandle line" will be in operation for
800 miles from Fort Worth.
The fine coal mines at Strawn not far
from the Texas and Pacific road are be-
ing developed rapidly and the railroad
company has such faith in the good quail
tiles of the coal, demonstrated 10y
actual use that, it has contracted
for q number of carloads daily. The
more the coal is tested the better it is
pronunced to be. The Texas and Pacific
is fortunate in having this bed Of coal so
near its line.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe is to
the front with greatly reduced rates to
Houston and Temple. They will sell
tickets at their Main street office on May
4, and good to return until May 10 to
Houston and return at $13 IS, and on
Nav 4 and to Temple, also
good until the 10th, at $50 for
the round trip. There are to be large
gatherings at both places and the reduced
rates are made to give the people an OPP
portunity to attend.
The citizens of Coleman and San
